A. 
All parcels that elect to hook up to the Township water system before August 14, 2000, will be charged $3,500. This amount may be paid in full at the time of connection or payable in quarterly installments of $76.50 each, inclusive of interest. Quarterly installments shall commence and are due on October 1, 2000, or January 1, 2001, at the parcel owner's option. Interest shall accrue on all unpaid balances from September 13, 2000, at the rate of 6.16669%. A gross installment amount, which shall be 10% greater than the net installment amount, shall become due and payable if the installment remains unpaid after the due date shown on the bill. Billing for deferred installments of hookup charges shall be made by the City of Midland and payable to the City of Midland, in accordance with procedures it may institute from time to time. In addition to all other remedies for collection, the unpaid balance of hookup charges, with accrued interest, shall constitute a lien on the premises subject thereto. Unpaid balances for such hookup charges may be prepaid to the Midland Township Treasurer prior to final installment and, subsequently, accruing interest avoided.
B. 
All parcels that elect to hook up to the Township water system after August 14, 2000, will be charged either $5,500 or $2,750. Where such parcel lies adjacent to a water main installed as part of the Township water system, the charge shall be $5,500 for each connection. Where such parcel does not lie adjacent to a water main installed as part of the Township water system, the charge shall be $2,750 for each connection. These amounts shall be paid upon connection request, and no installment payment provisions shall be available for this charge.
Each customer of the Township water system shall be required, as a condition of obtaining and continuing to receive water service, to sign a written agreement indicating said customer agrees to comply with and is governed by the ordinances, rules, regulation and policies as may be adopted by the Township relating to such water service. The Township shall have the right to refuse to supply water service to any customer who refuses to sign such agreement.
